   1 apt (1.3~pre3+cmake1) experimental; urgency=medium
   2
   3   Early version of CMake based build system. Translations for the dselect
   4   method and docbook guides are missing, just as the text docbook guides.
   5
   6   This is mainly intended for checking building, reproducibility, and
   7   cross-compiling.
   8
   9   This is also the first release since 1999 that re-enabled a thread-local
  10   _error. It was disabled by jgg back then due to glibc issues, but I really
  11   hope those are fixed now.

  17   [ Automatic removal of debs after install ]
  18   After packages are successfully installed by apt(8),
  19   the corresponding .deb package files will be
  20   removed from the /var/cache/apt/archives cache directory.
  21
  22   This can be changed by setting the apt configuration option
  23     "Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to "true". E.g:
  24
  25   # echo 'Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "true";' \
  26       > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01keep-debs
  27
  28   Please note that the behavior of apt-get is unchanged. The
  29   downloaded debs will be kept in the cache directory after they
  30   are installed. To enable the behavior for other tools, you can set
  31   "APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to false.
  32
  33   [ Compressed indices ]
  34   If you use Acquire::gzipIndexes, or any other compressed index targets,
  35   those will now be compressed with the fastest supported algorithm,
  36   currently lz4.

  41
  42   A new algorithm for pinning has been implemented, it now assigns a
  43   pin priority to a version instead of assigning a pin to a package.
  44
  45   This might break existing corner cases of pinning, if they use multiple
  46   pins involving the same package name or patterns matching the same
  47   package name, but should overall lead to pinning that actually works
  48   as intended and documented.

  52 apt (0.8.11) unstable; urgency=low
  53
  54   * apt-get install pkg/experimental will now not only switch the
  55     candidate of package pkg to the version from the release experimental
  56     but also of all dependencies of pkg if the current candidate can't
  57     satisfy a versioned dependency.

  61 apt (0.7.26~exp3) experimental; urgency=low
  62
  63   * apt-ftparchive now reads the standard configuration files in
  64     /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d.

  68 apt (0.7.24) unstable; urgency=low
  69
  70   * Already included in the last version but now with better documentation
  71     is the possibility to add/prefer different compression types while
  72     downloading archive information, which can decrease the time needed for
  73     update on slow machines. See apt.conf (5) manpage for details.
  74   * APT manages his manpage translations now with po4a, thanks to Nicolas
  75     François and Kurasawa Nozomu, who also provide the ja translation.
  76     Thanks to Christian Perrier we have already a fr translation and
  77     a few more are hopefully added in the near future.
  78   * This version also introduces some _experimental_ configuration options
  79     to make more aggressive use of dpkg's triggers. If you want to help
  80     testing these _experimental_ options see apt.conf (5) manpage.

  85
  86   * Code that determines which proxy to use was changed. Now
  87     'Acquire::{http,ftp}::Proxy[::<host>]' options have the highest priority,
  88     and '{http,ftp}_proxy' environment variables are used only if options
  89     mentioned above are not specified.

  93 apt (0.6.44) unstable; urgency=low
  94
  95   * apt-ftparchive --db now uses Berkeley DB_BTREE instead of DB_HASH.
  96     If you use a database created by an older version of apt, delete
  97     it and allow it to be recreated the next time.

 101 apt (0.5.25) unstable; urgency=low
 102
 103   * apt-ftparchive --db now uses Berkeley DB version 4.2.  If used with a
 104     database created by an older version of apt, an attempt will be made
 105     to upgrade the database, but this may not work in all cases.  If your
 106     database is not automatically upgraded, delete it and allow it to be
 107     recreated the next time.
